Nurse Quality
Although this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it didn't perform as badly in nursing. We awarded it a B- for that category. There are numerous datapoints included in this area. Most of these factors reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we gave this facility a grade of B- for our short-term care score, which is not a bad grade. With our short-term care score, we attempt to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular facility had 3 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at was long-term care, is this facility's worst area. We gave this facility a D in that category. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 96.55832 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
